I would also suggest an Oblivion style "suggested class" too. Maybe give them one sword and see who takes it, then have an elder
suggest fighter training for them, or rogue for a dagger or barb for axe or whatever. Watch how they play with just non combat traits and then have an elder make a suggestion for a combat class.

Topic: Looking for idea feedback
Subject: Well
Welcome to the inn!
I played In a lvl 0 once. Pretty cool idea, but we never got too far. Might want to look into shadowrun or world of darkness and tweak their systems to create more "real" characters without powers - both those systems have a rich charate creation system beyond D&D and allow for more non combat oriented options. Then you could always switch to D&D if you want at lvl 1.

Topic: Is there any good Hybrid classes out there
Subject: 4e
My experience in 4e is that the straight classes are quite balanced and powerful enough. I don't see a need for a hybrid build as each class provides 2 or 3 different paths to take or mix.

Topic: Best D&D Hybrid class choice
Subject: hybrid
I like fighter/mages personally. Basic and gets the job done. They don't work as well in 3.5 as they used to, so for that edition it really depends. Druids make great hybrids by themselves, and I'd put a lvl 20 Druid up against almost any character that's not a wizard and have a good shot at winning.
As to Paladins... I can't seem to find the old thread, maybe it got deleted. I told a story about how a player in my game wanted to become a Paladin of Shinara. I told him the time would come where he would have the opportunity to give himself totally over to luck - and then he would become a paladin.
He thought that opportunity came at the top of a 200 foot tree, fighting Harpies. He jumped.
Miraculously, he survived with less than 10 hp. Of course he attributed this to Shinara and climbed back up the tree with renewed vigor. Later, fighting the Harpy Queen he engaged with a scream of "SHINARA PROTECTS!!!!" and charged.
Rolling a 1
I was using critical fumble and hit charts. I rolled on the failure table.
Rolling a 99. The character hits himself with his weapon. Roll attack vs. own armor.
I had him slip and fall on his sword. He rolled the attack.
Again, 20.
With my face buried in my palms, I rolled on the critical hit table.
99. Instant Death.
If my math is correct, that's about a 1 in 300 thousand chance of happening.
Moral of the story: Never, EVER, play a Paladin of Shinara.

Subject: well then
As the body parts rained down on them, Adrian's mind was racing as to what could be done. He could always attempt to dispel, but without getting a gauge on what type of power they were dealing with, it would be a fool's wager.
"Again, parlor tricks. If this thing had any real power and malevolence we would be dead. It's either toying with us, needs us for something, or it really doesn't have the outright capability to harm us. Either way we need to follow it. Time is not waiting around for us."
Adrian takes an inventory of the group.
"It appears besides our nerves and minor battle wounds, we're still good as new. If it can't scare us it loses the majority of it's power. That is the cornerstone of Necromancy, and the primary reason I refuse to engage in such a practice."

Challenging Job - 50%
Medium Mutation - 62.5%
It's your turn.
You step through the door to the next room where you will supposedly find out what your life's goals and aspirations will be. A computer terminal sits in the otherwise dank and depressing room. Strange that you know how to work it. Apparently this cloning process does leave you with the basic information you need to survive.
IMPUT YOUR DESIGNATION
Designation, what was your designation? Oh yes.
Tor-r-1333-1 Tor... that was your name. Torian actually. Yes, but designations only allowed three letters, your rank, infrared in this case, and numerical. So, Tor it was. You input the designation into the system. The screen goes black for a second.
IMPUT YOUR DESIGNATION
That's odd, it didn't take. One more time. You input the designation.
Welcome, Torian. Stand by for scan.
A small fingerprint reader lights up. Apparently it wants your fingerprint. You place your finger on the pad and line your eye up with the black ball you can only assume is a retinal reader. You were right.
Designation confirmed. Designation is appropriate. Welcome, Infrared. This is Alpha Complex. Stand by for history and orientation.
Finally some answers.
Loading INFRARED version of Alpha Complex history. Stand by for INFRARED version of Alpha Complex history.
Alpha Complex was made by Friend Computer.
This concludes the INFRARED version of Alpha Complex history. Stand by for INFRARED orientation. Please place hand on the designation position for confirmation purposes.
This system is very redundant. The programmer must be very paranoid. A black box about 1 foot cubic opens up and a picture of a man smiling while placing his hand in the box appears on the screen. Truly idiot proof. It's scary to think enough people screw this up to warrant such a process. You shrug your shoulders and put your hand in the box.
INFRARED orientation initiated. Welcome to Alpha Complex.
The box snaps closed, trapping your hand inside. You can't see what is happening, but it sure feels like a needle is being placed into the back of your hand. Strange. Suddenly you feel much better. About everything. Was that the test Cint was talking about? You slowly begin to realize you've been manipulated. But also, you don't really care.
Welcome, INFRARED. You have just been injected with Apple Juice. Apple Juice is very nutritious and will be your primary energy source. You should begin to feel pleasant. This is normal. Apple Juice is very pleasant and will promote fun-having in Alpha Complex.
It's strange, you do actually feel pretty good. You want another dose. You press the "?" button on the terminal.
Pleasant day, INFRARED. Is there a query I may answer?
You input: MORE APPLE JUICE PLEASE.
I'm sorry, INFRARED dosage is regulated. You will be eligible for another dose in eight (8 ) hours.
Fine. You can wait. Time to continue the orientation. You press "next."
You have been given a great honor, Torian. You have been designated as a Beautification officer. It shall be your responsibility to make sure Alpha Complex remains in the pleasantly beautiful state in which it currently is. Given you are a new addition to Alpha Complex, you shall have one (1) day to become familiar with your surroundings. You shall report for work tomorrow morning at seven (7) hours. Please take datapad from port B for further information.
You take the datapad. You are part of the environmental pleasantness team. It says here that there are four positions in the team, at least, four that aren't classified knowledge.
Cleanliness officers are restricted to Red or higher... they make sure personnel are hygienic and tidy. Refuse officers have the worst job... nasty stuff. They make sure all the waste is disposed of. Scrub officers actually might have it worse. They literally scrub Alpha Complex clean. Luckily it seems your job isn't too bad. You load the full description.
"Beautification officer: duty includes the application of beautiful decorations and maintenance of pleasant structural and functional elements. The Beautification officer evolved from the ancient practices of interior design, architecture, and landscaping."
You press the conclude orientation button, feeling rather excited about dodging the terrible fate of Refuse or Scrub officer. Alpha Complex is huge. You need to find a way to enjoy the day.
The sign on your way out is much more pleasant than the one coming in, with all the treason and such.
Have a Pleasant Day. Remember, Fun is Mandatory!
Vote Time! Please send me a PM with your choice of the following ways Torian can spend the next few hours:
-Torian hits the town to socialize/explore
-Torian wanders the halls looking at the decor
-Torian goes to his quarters to get settled
And yes, I know the mutation hasn't been brought up yet. You don't know it exists yet. Neener neener
